Here is what Sarah said: Were going to tell of our Favorite things during this time of year like Christmas lights, the spirit of Christmas, or just how you love to shop around like crazy mad shoppers! haha
List at least 5 things and show pictures if you can!
Well i am not quite done 'tweakin' my Chrissy decoration yet so i tootled on up to mums place today to give her and hand around the house, and took my trusty camera with me. My mum had all her decorating done before she went into hospital and im thinking it must have been so nice to come home to such beautiful surroundings after being in hospital for a week.
Mum and i have alot of similar 'stuff' for decorating and our styles are much the same, yet different (hmm does that make sense). Anyhow i think this year mum has truly outdone herself and should be applauded!
So today on behalf of my Mum and Stepdad i welcome you to CHRISTMAS AT THE WILSONS.
Enjoy the piccies...I'll be at the bottom for a bit more of a chat...LOL.
Told you it was all gorgeous didnt i ?
As far as things we love about christmas....well i did a post on this last year and you know what? I still love all the things i listed. So im sure, even though this is about my mums christmas home, that she would agree with these....
So what do i love most about Christmas?.....I love the people in my life, the animals in it, the amazing and emotional feeling that overcomes me on christmas morning when Sam See's that Santa has been and his stocking is full and there are gifts under the tree just for him. I love my job as 'Present Giver Outer' when the whole family is together around the tree.... I love snapping photos of my family when they think no-one is looking, capturing the emotional smiles on their faces...i love sitting down to lunch and not being able to hear myself think for all the chatter that is going on around me...i love when we all jump in the pool and go totally crazy because we are that happy to be together.....i love Sam's tired little face at the end of the day, hes so worn out and so gosh darn happy to be a kid....
Above all i love my family from the top of my head to the tips of my toes and i thanks God for the blessing of them every single day.
Now be sure to pop on by Miss Sarah's blog and visit all the other lovely girls who are joining us today!
I'll be back in a few days with photos of my Christmas Home...when im done tweakin' !
Love and Pink Kisses......Shann xx

I was a naughty girl (will Santa still come?) and just got too busy on the weekend to get my post done. It's up now :-)
Oh my gosh! you were so right - what a beautiful house and decorations. I love all the things that you wrote about..it's so true. Our family and loved ones is what it's all about. I love taking those sneeky snapshots too - so much better than posed ones.
Merry Christmas.

It all looks so very Shannon!!! I love it!
Lots of prettiness, and it is special when family can be together.
